The programme of the Hungarian Heritage House on the 38th Festival of Folk Arts
📅 between 17 and 20 August 2024.
📍 the Buda Castle District, Dísz tér, Soldier's Statue
Visitors are awaited at craft instruction sessions, craft shows, folk puppet theatre, infant lap games, children's dance instruction and concerts, storytelling sessions, publication and ticket sales, and the folk playground of Fabatka Porta.
Fabatka Porta folk playground The Fabatka Porta folk playground uses natural materials, folk motifs, and traditions. Its main element is the carved wooden carousel decorated with tulips. Many old commodities gain a new life here, such as the mill table turned into a hockey stick or the market scale turned into a balance toy. We welcome all children and adults who would like to test their dexterity. It's worth a penny!

Julcsi Paár: Kerekerdő (Round Woods) - a fairy tale concert for the family Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jancsi. He, however small as my little pinkie, followed his dreams and went to roam the world, walking all around in the Round Woods. He met strange creatures and people wherever he went, but songs encouraged him, and dances led him on his way. | |
